Adoption Yard Sale THIS WEEKEND!!

If you haven't made it over to our new blog yet, let me go ahead and fill you in here. That way, you will have extra time to go thru your things and see if you have anything to donate :)

My sweet friend Jordan planned an adoption yard sale for this weekend for her own adoption but VERY kindly invited us to join her and split the profits for our's! Is that not the nicest thing?!

Specs:
This Saturday, July 2nd
Beginning at 7:30am
WH Church of Christ

We have a LOT of money to raise in order to bring Anna Gray home and if you feel led to help, this is your first opportunity!

1) Please help spread the word! Tell your friends, neighbors, family, church family, etc.! EVERY DOLLAR we make that day will go toward these two adoptions.

2) If you have ANY items you can donate for us to sell, let me know. OR just bring them by the church tomorrow after 5:30pm or anytime on Friday. We will be there setting up.

3) You can also donate your precious time to help set up or help the day of the sale. Unfortunately, Nathan and I will be out of town the day of the sale. It would be AMAZING if our family and friends could show up on our behalf! The more help we have, the more organized the sale will be. The more organized the sale is, the more stuff gets sold. The more stuff gets sold, the more money is available to help bring Annie HOME!

4) Come buy things! There is nothing that can't be fixed up with a little love, care, and a can of spray paint or extra material- AND you will be helping us bring our babies home :)

5) PRAY PRAY PRAY.


"We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,
are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands."

I just happened to have my camera out yesterday morning when the littles rolled out of bed. Somehow, one shot turned into "Take one of me!" and we had a little impromptu photo shoot right on our front porch, in our pajamas (yes, my girls slept in the dresses they wore to church... we got them home a little too late the night before and just moved them from the car to the bed. Eh, not the worst thing I'll ever do as a parent.)

These are some of my favorite pics ever: pajamas and dirty dresses, hair all a'muck, scrapes scars and all.

These are my kids.

Oh me, my heart is full!

The "official" announcement!

For those of you who haven't heard....

We have a sweet new baby girl!!!!!!!

Shew! It was killing me keeping that in!


We are pursuing an international adoption through Reece's Rainbow. This is not what we ever thought we would be doing, but when the Lord calls- you answer!

We have started a new blog specifically to journal our adoption process, our wait, and our love and support for this new treasure- AND the other waiting souls who need a forever family. Please follow us at www.ephesians15.blogspot.com

We are so excited!!
